AzCosmosCopy

Simple CLI application which copies azure cosmos DB database to same or different cosmos account.

Usage

By default the app will copy up to 10 containers in parallel with 100 documents in parallel per container. These can be tweaked with the --pc and --pd parameters to match your use-case. For example, if you you have only a few containers with tens of thousands of documents, you may want to increase the number of parallel documents and reduce the number of parallel containers.

Note If your destination database account is on free tier (400 RU) the copy may fail if you do not slow down this app by changing the parallel arguments, as this application can quickly overwhelm your destination.

Install new

Future

• Switch to Microsoft.Azure.DocumentDB from Microsoft.Azure.Cosmos for non-bulk copy pipeline
• Support passing 'strings' instead of 'objects' to pre-serialize data
